I hate Kim Mulkey

I wouldn't go that far with her!!!!!

 

[VOLnFLA]

Any idea why burk got the free second base Saturday night?

 

[WeNeedaQB]

Exactly. If you’re gonna make it to the championship series, you’re gonna have to beat both teams anyway. It’s stupid to prefer playing LSU with Skenes.

Guys on Sports Animal think LSU would throw Skenes against us if they win tonight.

 

[SmokinBob]

Vol friends, it’s only the T2.

Have faith.

 

[NighthawkVol]

It was a balk. I think they tried the hidden ball trick and it resulted in a walk.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Bet it was in the game plan and bet he is in the box tomorrow without a lecture from Coach. Same as with pitchers and FA. Cherry picking a play or even a game is just weak.

Who and what are you talking about?

That would be dumb. He wouldn't be very effective

If Tennesse were able to beat LSU on Wednesday. I havve no doubt LSU would try to start someone other than Skenes because burning him on Thursday means he would not be available for championship series.

Now, they would bring him in early on if they got behind but they'd try to steal the game. Tigers would have ZERO chance again UF without Skeness

 

[TheMookieMonster]

That’s such a big win for this program. First win since 2001 in Omaha. Another step in the right direction for Tony as a coach. More fuel to our recruiting pitch. This thing is only just getting started.

Guys on Sports Animal think LSU would throw Skenes against us if they win tonight.

If they throw him on 3 days rest after 123 pitches, so be it. Much better chance of beating him in that situation than beating him with 5-6 days rest.

But I doubt they would.

Kimmie working a pole? Hubba, Hubba…

Toss her a couple of bucks lol maybe get those digits for @mattdingus2002

Now that I think about it, They could start Skenes on 3 days rest on Wed. in a planned short outing to have him back for game 3 on Monday

Well yeah. If LSU wins tonight, that means we face Wake tomorrow.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Finally checking back in. I had to finish the last 6 innings on my phone at the ER. But way to go Ahuna and Starks. You guys well actually every guy played well. But hats off to Ahuna for finally adjusting to the off speed pitches and making someone pay. Go Vols.

 

[knoxvol52]

Who and what are you talking about?

Lol

 

[fryeguy93]

Long story short. Should LSU lose tonight, they'd have almost ZERO shot of making the finals

 

[preacherman20]

I’m guessing some lost their minds.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Don't want the Lady Vols attacking me for ogling younger women.

Since championship, she has been out and about without makeup.

Think they will let you slide on her. Kim looking long in the tooth...

 

[Titan05]

That would be dumb. He wouldn't be very effective

Exactly. People don’t get this. 123 pitches and pitching on TWO days less rest is a recipe for disaster.

 

[Weezer]

Highly doubtful we see Skenes tomorrow IF Wake beats them tonight. They'd save him to try and beat Wake twice IMO.

 

[fryeguy93]

I hate Kim Mulkey

No one - but Kim Mulkey, likes Kim Mulkey.

Maybe, but if that’s their thinking, they could pitch him Wednesday. It would make more sense than pitching him Tuesday on 3 days rest from a 123-pitch outing. Then he’d still be available for the championship series, either Sunday or Monday.

According to the NCAA, Chase Burns’ performance against Stanford was the best relief performance at the Men's College World Series since 1969!
